Bad knees. A back that complains. Shoulders that don't reach like they used to. None of that means you stop training — it means you train from a chair. Tell us how long you've got and what hurts, and we'll build the session.

Programs that go somewhere

Single workouts are fine. Programs are better — they progress, they build on what you did last week, and they tell you exactly what to do today.

A word before you start. ChairSensei is exercise content, not medical advice. If you have a heart condition, have had recent surgery, get dizzy, or are in pain that's new or getting worse, speak to your doctor before you begin. Stop immediately if anything causes sharp pain, chest tightness or light-headedness. Full safety guidance →
